Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention. Safari 1.2 using 10.3.7 on a WS Series II with 512 MB Ram and ADSL - you can still get stalls/slowdowns using Yahoo features (mail, groups).
OSX in its various flavours is a slick marketing tool, nothing else. This is 'beta-testing' taken to a new low. They still tweak the install disks to each machine; but the original 8.0 G3 Beige install disk has access to installers for both non-G3 Macs and 68k!
